uboot is directly attached to a kernel. Installing uboot from repos will install the stock kernel with uboot attached. Maybe titan or anyone else could split the kernel power package into two packages: one with uboot attached and one without. So everyone could decide by himself whether to use uboot or not.

I'm currently working on this solution. The main problem is finding a proper packaging scheme compatible with HAM.
look forward to this titan , i lukily had no problems with u-boot but appreciate your position with so many having problems , i likewise support the request for power kernel with or without u-boot allowig users to choose whih suits them.
Where is the problem? Doesn't a different naming scheme suffice? Like kernel-power vs kernel-power-uboot. I guess all other related packages don't need to be changed, right? Like modules for kernel-power (kernel depends on modules not vice versa), k-p-settings (doesn't have to depend on kernel or could at least depend on one of them) or uboot related tools.
I had the issue of the battery going flat and then the device not powering on/sticking in a reboot loop and not charging.
I got around it by pressing the "u" button and then plugging the mains charger in,whlie the device was in the reboot loop. This then enabled the device to charge and I was back in with no issues.
Instead of pulling from the devel repo and reporting problems with new features with that version. We should instead be reporting and Voting on version 42 in testing.
That way this testing version either gets promoted or bugs get squashed and the subsequent versions in devel move up the queue...
Those wanting to report bugs with the devel versions should:

Life as it should be.
For those interested in overclocking with PR1.3, version 42 in testing has worked fine for me with none of the other problems reported in this thread.
